- 1). Decide where in the room you want to put your office area. If space is an issue, consider putting your office in the corner of the room. This maximizes workspace and allows you to quickly switch between two desks.
- 2). Draw furniture and a floor plan of the room to scale. This works best if exact measurements are taken because you can easily see when something won't fit. Include electrical outlets, windows, doors and heating vents in your drawing to avoid inconvenient furniture placement.
- 3). Arrange the furniture within the floor plan taking traffic flow and efficiency into consideration. Think about the natural flow of the room. By drawing walking paths into your floor plan you can be sure to take this into account in your planning.
- 4). Purchase or make containers and systems to organize your space. By putting messy office supplies into monochromatic storage bins and filing boxes, you can make your office space look more put-together. Plan a space for this type of storage that is accessible and functional.
- 5). Plan for a spot to leave important reminders and relevant documents. By leaving room on a wall for a cork or magnet board, you save yourself desk space, can easily find important items and are easily reminded of upcoming deadlines. Placing this in a spot that you are sure to look at multiple times throughout the day is best.
